Using my background in applied mathematics, I teach in non-traditional ways to make Mathematics accessible and applicable to real-life situations. My research expertise is computational Fuid dynamics (CFD) with specialization in Fuid-structure interactions at low Reynolds number. Much of my work centers on building sophisticated models and simulations of micro-organisms living in Fuids. I have mentored many undergraduate students from different STEM majors while successfully securing internal and external grant funding for both teaching and research. I have also devoted my time and energy to important service activities for my department, Trinity University, the wider mathematics community, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
